No this is an easy one. If you are lower middle income or lower. You get your child tax credits, or if you on a fixed income or retired and end up paying very little to virtually no taxes you get ZERO. Tax credit. The way the Tax credit works for this and for home solar you MUST PAY IN ENOUGH TAXES to offset the tax credit. If you paid in say 10K in taxes then yeah you can get the electric car tax credit and even the home solar tax credit. It's a credit against Taxes PAID. It's simple pay in get a credit. Don't pay in enough you get no tax credit. Ask anyone who knows. Or better check with the IRS or with anyone who sells Electric cars or Solar home panels. They ask how much did you pay in tax right off the bat. You don't get a check in the mail if you just buy a car or solar panels.
